About our Mexican street food in Fish Island
The menu is agreed with organisers, with fillings such as carnitas, chicken tinga or beef birria, and a vegan filling like black beans. At open days and community events and street food and farmers’ markets, we can serve quesadillas, vegan tacos and burritos and more.
In Fish Island, community events include street parties, school fairs and markets. Public spaces and road closures usually need council permission, and we will provide what the organiser asks for from us. Every guest is catered for, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free included, and we give allergen information for every dish.

How it works
Here’s how the day usually runs: we arrive and set up, we open the hatch when you are ready, and we serve your guests fresh until service ends. Summer events in Fish Island have daylight until about 9:20pm at midsummer and about 7:05pm by late September, so evening trading usually finishes in daylight in high summer. For winter markets, dark by about 3:55pm, the pitch needs lighting.
- Send us your event details and pitch information.
- We send our menu, needs and the documents you ask for.
- We set up in the agreed window.
- Orders are served from the hatch while the event runs.
- We clear and leave the pitch clean.
How to prepare
- Measure any gates or arches on the way in
- Confirm numbers and diets before the day
- Have level hardstanding or firm ground ready
